Though Ward never played under Babcock, he faced his wrath as an analyst when Babcock reportedly tried to get him fired over a true but undisclosed leak from Detroit. Ward survived the attempt, but the incident underscores Babcock’s notorious control—even over non-coached personnel. With Babcock’s reputation for intensity and player resentment still fresh, Ward’s fiery take adds fuel to the debate over whether this move is wise for the Oilers.
